Question 1

The phonics material is similar to Heggerty.
We use sound cards to blend sounds and build cvc words.
The 20 days is an overview of review.
Starts with a small sound and eventually builds into words.

Question 2

These routines build to word study and 3rd grade.
Leads to independent reading.
Focuses on key review content needed to access the instruction for the grade levels moving forward.

Question 3:

I use whiteboards daily to practice the writing.
For small group instruction, it is important to review important sounds that kids often miss so this serves as good intervention.

I would respond to the new teacher, "you have to use students to model expectations, whole-group particpation, and listening." These routines are built across grade level vertically by repeating the same actions/demonstrations. One routine we already do in the TK classroom is model, model, model, and practice, practice, practice.

Start with introducing with how to treat books, move to buddy reading, listening and other things. In the upper grades we move towards how to pick the correct books, expectations of what it looks like independently and start to learn how to question and predict.
Every grade level adds a few more expectations to build independence. More writing is expected to show accountability.
Buddy reading, independent reading time, listening within the workshop model.
